25C = 77F, so pretty much resting ambient "garage temperature".

Sorry for your troubles brother, but i can't help and laugh at the thread title. My friend and I just came back from Thailand and ran into some trannies at the club.

YMMV. It is 13C in my garage right now. May hit 17C. To get to 25C I need to wait for a couple of months.

If you find how to read temperature with STAR, please, share the info.

For the 722.6:

Control Units > Drive > Transmission > Initial Test/Oil Condition Check/Oil Level Check > Actual Values:Oil Level Check

For the 722.9:

Control Units > Drive > Transmission > Actual Values > Oil Level Check

Hahah!

Awesome! Taking the car to the shop on Sunday. Might play with this and check the level- when I get up to house this Friday

Update:I just called the shop omfg..he's like there's no way it could be overfilled or underfilled because it would be done within tube(engine bay) and checked thru the dipstick for my 722.6...I'm like you guys filled it thru the pan and the pump !! He's like no way!! I'm like yes way...omfg..I'm like I have the 722.6 not the 9 and he's like yea I know..omg..so they just pretty much admitted it to doing it wrong!! They filled my car doing the 722.9 procedure by accident. I’m at a loss for words.

Sunday can’t come soon enough.

Hopefully no permanent damage can come from this??

Good grief! I don't think overfilling the transmission is bad like overfilling an engine. Hopefully it will be fine. These transmission are actually pretty tough.

They are quite sensitive to fill level in terms of working perfectly but they are hard to actually break.

Well that's refreshing to hear! I'll check the level this weekend before driving down there this Sunday

But JIC godspeed gentleman, it was a pleasure being part of the M113K and R230 platform

Black locking tab..not the typical red.. but it’s not budging..


Upadate: it’s just a black locking pin I broke off the tab and am pushing thru with a flat head just like
in diagrams, the lock mechanism is depressed and inside the rectangular block and it’s still not sliding up or out...great

upadate: it’s out, keep pushing till it completely slides out is the trick

Did the test 3-4 times put it as deep as I could and maybe a foot of slack left before it wouldn’t go any deeper. Put the car in park and just let the car run for the 25c test.




it didn’t even register on the dipstick last 2 tries...there’s like no fluid here at all..the back of the stick and sides has some not sure how, pictured.

According to star it was 46c in R and D. 89 in P

Das Geld 2

It was low a FULL QUART!!!!

They poured it in and I’m right touching the 80, star said I was at 92C so I still might be low a little, but I had no more fluid.

Went for a test drive and all seems fine again with the shifts. Smooth and crisp. I will report back in a week or two or if I experience anything else.

thank you everyone for the help

So any updates on this? How's the car now?

Das Geld 2

Hey, perfect no issues since.

lesson here is go to a good shop and make sure they fill it up correctly

From what i heard with the 722.6 its best to change the conductor plate, filter and new gasket and O rings when doing a oil change, atleast after 100k miles. Thats what i did on my car, before that it would ack sluggish/slow and got a code for incorrect gear ratio. But I will recommend you to check the trans connector at the bottom, and clean it cause that can also create faults.
